Testimonials

I could talk all day long about how much I love Alma Midwifery but I will try to keep it short and sweet. I had the experience of a lifetime at Alma, they gave me everything I needed to have a truly natural and supported birth. The atmosphere is just incredible and my birth team was awesome. I almost want to have another just so I can hang out in the Fern room again. I would recommend anyone and everyone here! Alma made giving birth like a vacation from reality…all about you and baby and making the experience beautiful.

As we are all products of our environment, I had never considered the birth of my children happening anywhere other than a hospital. Now, not only can I NOT imagine having them in a hospital, I am doing what little I can to spread the word about bringing your family into this world the way God and nature intended. There is a personal connection that happens in this place that is indescribable! With the staff as well as the birth and of course your baby when that magical moment happens. I am convinced that I am part of an elite group of lucky people who have had the joy of experiencing Alma

I had my baby with Alma care and my amazing Alma birthing team at home in the fall of 2012 and I can not speak highly enough of the care, professionalism, skill, compassion and knowledge that I experienced throughout my entire time at Alma. I felt totally informed and respected in every way and I was blown away by the amount of precision and coordination my team showed at the times when it was needed. I can not recommend Alma highly enough. honestly. After everything i have been through with my birthing experience and taking into consideration the experiences of SO MANY of my friends and acquaintances, I truly believe this group of midwives established and practicing at Alma to be absolutely WORLD CLASS!

Words cannot express the gratitude we feel towards our team of midwives from Alma. Thank you for helping us bring our baby girl into this world. You enabled us to have the out-of-hospital birth we imagined. I couldn’t have done it without your encouragement and calm reassurance as things got intense. You are the most amazing team of women and will always hold a special place in our hearts

I can never say enough amazing things about Alma. I adore every person I have met through Alma from the midwives to the front desk to the classes and momma groups. It is more than just a place to go for prenatal and postpartum care, it is a community full of caring people. Between the smiles, hugs, and great conversations, I have always felt welcome. My son was born 4 days ago on my kitchen floor and my midwives were more than amazing. They anticipated my needs, followed my lead, and took charge when needed so that I could have the amazing birth experience I have always dreamed about. I will always be thankful.
